£40m is crazy money. Never thought we'd make an actual (not ffp) profit on him.

What decision has Georginio got to make.

He's off.

I give up. It's turning into another rebuild

£40m and he looked out of his depth in the PL tbh, so a very risky signing I'd say.

You would have thought relegation would probably mean a different release clause amount compared to us being a PL club ?

At this rate, we won't even make the play-offs.

With Summerville & Rutter gone, how do you replace 27 goals & 25 assists, without spending serious money..

I think that would be an ffp profit of £19m? Add the £20m of Summerville and that be more than enough to find a number 10 and a winger. Not that I'd trust Farke to spend it well mind you.

Probably for the best all round in my opinion.

It's almost impossible to do it two years in a row anyway. But Aaronson and Piroe should score plenty in this league. Let's not ignore Georginio's woeful finishing either.

Risky signing, yes, but it doesn't help LUFC's cause.

Piroe is a carthorse.

No but with around £19m ffp profit, if we can't find better for that, the scouts need sacking.

But a much better finisher than Georginio

As a friend put it tonight, tonight was a game where you stay until the end to avoid the traffic!

Elland Road looked half empty by the final whistle, don't think the row behind me saw the last 20 minutes.

After relegation, to make a profit on a £35m player is pretty mad.

Show me Brenden Aaronson's track record of scoring goals.

9 in 46 in the Austrian Bundesliga. 7 in 51 in the MLS.

Not sure about that.

Georginio is a better attacking player than any of the shower who started tonight.

Scored 1 already. Dan James scored 15 last season and he had no track record either. Georginio should've scored 15+ last season.

And rows in front of me.

The exit down the kop steps was a doddle tonight.
